like a sensitivity to touch.
like a sensitivity to sound.
a sensitivity, of the heart.


the work of pride in man.
brings nothing but sorrow and discord.
a deadly sin indeed.


"Empathy is the ability to feel another's experience, especially painful ones. Respect is the ability to value another's experience. You may not be able to actually empathize with someone, but you can always take a position of respect for them. Disrespect flourishes when someone values their own views above another's. They may not be actively trying to hurt the other. Disrespect tends to be more self-centered than malicious in nature, though that does occur also."
- Dr. John Townsend -


what is the worth of fairness and justice?
when the one you demand it from matters more.


truly, God is the giver and source of joy.


spot the difference.
between our selves and the people we dont want to become the most.


listen, and be slow to speak.
stall judgement, and explore misunderstandings.
anything is possible with a sound, open mind.


some nights i stay up cashing in my bad luck
some nights i call it a draw
some nights i wish that my lips could build a castle
some nights i wish they'd just fall off.
